Luxembourg's Rose of Tralee was welcomed at city hall for a special meeting with the capital's mayor Xavier Bettel.

Last summer Irish national Nicola McEvoy won the title of International Rose of Tralee in a contest which celebrates Irish heritage around the world.

The teacher from Luxembourg's European School will spend the next year acting as an ambassador for the association and its associated charities as well as putting Luxembourg on the map.

As part of her duties she is expected to attend a number of functions around the world, including the St Patrick's day parade in New York next March.

The Rose of Tralee contest has been running for some 52 years. Luxembourg's Rose committee meanwhile is appealing for new Rose candidates for the next selection on March 9, 2013. For a full list of criteria, visit www.rose.lu
